In 2000, Jennie relocated to Nigeria with her family, where she encountered the disparities in access to primary healthcare services. Driven by her passion for social impact, Jennie founded Clafiya, a digital primary healthcare service that connects individuals and businesses to health practitioners to provide convenient, quality, and affordable, on-demand, in-person primary care from their mobile phones.
